We need to implement a test system where the entries created in various tables on a test server need to be automatically re-generated on a live server so that there are no manual errors. We think the only way to do this is to use SQL Server log files. However, we are not sure that the tools...

In one point, I create two Transaction Log for a database, and now I want to delete the second Transaction Log in order to free more space. I just want to get ride of the second file. Is it safe to delete it? SQL Server allow me to do it from DATABASE PROPERTIES WINDOW, but I want to make sure that...

I have setup log shipping on our production SQLServer to send the logs to a server I have at my home for a warm backup solution. The process seemed to work but then I had a problem on my secondary server - it seemd to stop working for a period of 2 weeks (I dont know why - I could not login to it...

Hello Sir, Can u get me the answer to this question Management wants the backups to be done daily. Transaction log backups must be every afternoon and morning and that you should keep in mind that the content of the log will get larger and larger. You also need to take measure to do the log...

I have an intermittent problem with a SQL Server 2000 database. The job, to truncate the log files, doesn't start on time, and the transaction fills up preventing users from logging in. I would like to monitor the log such that I can send an alert when the log reaches e.g. 80% full.

If I change the recovery model on the primary database from full to simple and then change the primary database back to full again. Would that break the log chain? It seems the log shipping breaks after we do that.

I am receiving the error, "cannot find log file." I detach the database and I am unable to reattach it because of the error. I created a new database and copied the MDF. When I restarted the SQL Server, I am told the database is suspect. What can I do to fix this error?

Hello there, I am currently studying for the 70-432 (MCTS SQL Server 2008 I&M) exam and I am using Microsoft 70-432 Training Kit by Mike Hotek. At some point the book claims "when a database is placed in READ_ONLY mode, SQL SERVER removes any transaction log that is specified for the database....

I have a need to ship logs to a remote secondary server that is in a different domain and without domain trusts. I have configured the SQL Agent on each machine to use a local account (.\SQLAgent) with the passwords the same on both machine. The secondary machine can read the network share that...

In bulk-logged recovery mode in SQL Server, how can you restore to the end of a log backup that includes a bulk event? It seems to me that everything after the bulk event is useless. How could I do this?

We have an old server that runs SQL Server 7 on an NT system. One database has processes running that are not documented. I have written triggers to report any deletions, inserts or updates made against the database's tables. All I can report is that an insert, update or delete has occurred, the...

Hi, I am using a software which is using SQL DB. Each time there is an error (one of the tasks fails) the DB grows. I would say over 1G per day! Currently I have DBs which are 45G and I am running out of space. Anyone has any idea how to shrink the DBs or do something to reduce the size. The LDFs...
